Drive Chavo Drive...Buenos Olas!

Our days here at Sayulita Trailer Park are taking on a gentle routine. Many days start with  coffee on the patio watching the surf and surfers, breakfast,  Yoga, and then long walk on the beach. Soon after, it is lunch time (fish tacos anyone?) Our afternoons usually involve shopping for food where we visit several shops and then home to spend the afternoon on the beach reading or in my case sewing or drawing.

 I love that the surfers say "buenos olas" to each other. It reminds me of us saying "buenos nachos" ...just a fun take on buenos dias.  I am not sure how this greeting is used...but the waves have been muy buenos, which makes the surfers very very happy. (olas is waves in Espanol) 

The big news here has been THE WAVES!! It's all about surfing here and that is what directs many conversations which go on for hours. It reminds me of Tom and his friends talking about skiing or biking. Same thing. So, the waves have been huge which is good for surfers and watching surfers and bad for swimmers like me. I have to walk down the beach to swim if I want to stay alive.

Talking Surf

I discovered a flower shop!!

Reading

• I finished The Miniaturist byJessie Burton (liked) and am halfway through Gillian Flynn's (think Gone Girl) Dark Places. (page turner) 
• Tom finished the book about Wallace Stegner and Edward Abby and we had many good conversations about this book. I want to read it now. He is now reading a book of stories by Sherman Alexie called Blasphemy

Good Things

• Team Rybus played on the bocci ball tournament..we lost all three games but won the newcomer award. (two shot glasses with Mexico etchings)
• The vegetable truck! A little truck comes twice a week full of veggies and fruit...we just walk out and buy what we need. 
• The Internet is working again.
• My sister arrived Friday...she is the person who introduced me to this wonderful place. 
• Parties!!! We had great fun at a party last night celebrating a big 70...live music, pot luck and a lot of dancing. The younger folks here say us old folks' parties go like this...an hour of drinking, an hour of eating and an hour of dancing...done by 8:30
